Annual Report 2002

Message from the Director-General (excerpt)

"... the first year of my second term as Director-General of UNIDO. For UNIDO this was a year of consolidation, in which the gains of the previous four years of administrative and programmatic transformation were translated into further successes in strengthening the Organization's position as a key player in the international development community. These successes were marked in particular by the mainstreaming of UNIDO into intergovernmental and inter-agency processes, including increased cooperation with GEF, and the enhancement of UNIDO's profile vis-à-vis Member and non-member States".
